Title: Summer Coming to the Southern Hemisphere

Took the Pagoda out overnight and today for a run with a few of mates in their 'other' cars for the first time in some months, then left it with a mechanic this afternoon to fix a couple of items. It was a beautiful weather and a taste of things to come for Summer.

We didn't. He actually has a really really nice Ford Falcon GT that is so pristine that he will not take it out if it looks like it may rain.  Sad.

Speeking of Falcons I’ve received many remarkable nature photographs over the years but this photo of a nesting Falcon is perhaps the most remarkable nature shot that I’ve seen.
 
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.  Nature is truly breath-taking!

@Garry: that is why you should pity him...
@Bonnyboy: good nesting behaviour...

Good guess. Friend of mine has owned for some years. Paid $10k for it and the first service cost $12k. Now he just changes the oil each year and that is it. Not game to take it back to a RR service centre.
